Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the downlink positioning reference signals associated with the one or more TRPs have been preempted by another transmission that has higher priority than preempted downlink positioning reference signals.
3. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving replacement downlink positioning reference signals from the one or more TRPs, wherein performing positioning measurements uses the received downlink positioning reference signals from the plurality of TRPs and the replacement downlink positioning reference signals from the one or more TRPs.
4. The method of claim 1, wherein the PRS PI contains a set of bits associated with an identifier for the one or more TRPs.
5. The method of claim 1, wherein the PRS PI contains a set of bits associated with time domain and frequency domain for the preempted downlink positioning reference signals.
6. The method of claim 5, wherein the set of bits associated with the time domain and the frequency domain for the preempted downlink positioning reference signals identifies a time of the preempted downlink positioning reference signals based on a number of PRS symbols between two monitoring occasions, wherein only PRS symbols that contain downlink positioning reference signals associated with the one or more TRPs are counted.
7. The method of claim 6, wherein the monitoring occasions comprise physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) or medium access control control element (MAC CE).
8. The method of claim 5, wherein the set of bits associated with the time domain and the frequency domain for the preempted downlink positioning reference signals identifies at least one frequency sub-band of the preempted downlink positioning reference signals, wherein the preempted downlink positioning reference signals are divided into four or more frequency sub-bands.
9. The method of claim 8, wherein the set of bits identifies only one frequency sub-band of the preempted downlink positioning reference signals.
10. The method of claim 9, wherein the set of bits contains K bits and the preempted downlink positioning reference signals are divided into 2K frequency sub-bands.
11. The method of claim 8, wherein the set of bits identifies one or more frequency bandwidths of the preempted downlink positioning reference signals.
12. The method of claim 11, wherein the set of bits contains K bits and the downlink positioning reference signals are divided into K frequency sub-bands.
13. The method of claim 1, wherein the UE is configured with a plurality of groups of TRPs, each group of TRPs comprising one or more TRPs, wherein the PRS PI identifies one of the plurality of groups of TRPs.
15. The UE of claim 14, wherein the downlink positioning reference signals associated with the one or more TRPs have been preempted by another transmission that has higher priority than preempted downlink positioning reference signals.
16. The UE of claim 14, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to receive replacement downlink positioning reference signals from the one or more TRPs, wherein the at least one processor is configured to perform positioning measurements using the received downlink positioning reference signals from the plurality of TRPs and the replacement downlink positioning reference signals from the one or more TRPs.
17. The UE of claim 14, wherein the PRS PI contains a set of bits associated with an identifier for the one or more TRPs.
18. The UE of claim 14, wherein the PRS PI contains a set of bits associated with time domain and frequency domain for the preempted downlink positioning reference signals.
19. The UE of claim 18, wherein the set of bits associated with the time domain and the frequency domain for the preempted downlink positioning reference signals identifies a time of the preempted downlink positioning reference signals based on a number of PRS symbols between two monitoring occasions, wherein only PRS symbols that contain downlink positioning reference signals associated with the one or more TRPs are counted.
20. The UE of claim 19, wherein the monitoring occasions comprise physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) or medium access control control element (MAC CE).
21. The UE of claim 18, wherein the set of bits associated with the time domain and the frequency domain for the preempted downlink positioning reference signals identifies at least one frequency sub-band of the preempted downlink positioning reference signals, wherein the preempted downlink positioning reference signals are divided into four or more frequency sub-bands.
22. The UE of claim 21, wherein the set of bits identifies only one frequency sub-band of the preempted downlink positioning reference signals.
23. The UE of claim 22, wherein the set of bits contains K bits and the preempted downlink positioning reference signals are divided into 2K frequency sub-bands.
24. The UE of claim 21, wherein the set of bits identifies one or more frequency bandwidths of the preempted downlink positioning reference signals.
25. The UE of claim 24, wherein the set of bits contains K bits and the downlink positioning reference signals are divided into K frequency sub-bands.
26. The UE of claim 14, wherein the UE is configured with a plurality of groups of TRPs, each group of TRPs comprising one or more TRPs, wherein the PRS PI identifies one of the plurality of groups of TRPs.
